Exeter Airport’s winter flight schedule brings new opportunities to do business in a sought-after location, where companies already benefit from business rate relief.
Flybe recently added some extra flights on key business routes from Exeter Airport bringing improved national and international connectivity for corporate and leisure trips.
The new schedule starts on the 28th October and includes a number of significant enhancements, with up to 110 flights a week to 17 destinations.
Preparatory work is underway to upgrade traffic signals at a junction in Alphington Street, Exeter, later this month.
Temporary traffic signals will be in place at the junction of Exe Bridge/Alphington Street and Alphington Street/Haven Road, from Wednesday 24 October to enable the work to be carried out.
The signals, poles and electrics will all be replaced, and cable ducting will also be repaired. As much of the scheme as possible will be carried out using the existing traffic signals but the temporary lights will be used when the main signals are replaced.
